I am trying not to turn this into a book. I am disabled and have some neurological problems. My life was fairly stable until a sociopath deliberately inserted himself into my life in order to take advantage of me. He is a very good scammer and manipulator and has taken a lot of money from me and has caused me a lot of emotional pain. He kept pulling me deeper and deeper into his drug addicted dysfunctional life. I got to know his girlfriend and her kids, one of whom is developmentally disabled. I have an emotional bond to these people. But, he has turned out to be a very dangerous, drug addicted, textbook sociopath who has rage control problems and no empathy for anybody.

His girlfriend has this bad boy fetish and no matter how badly he treats her and her kids, she eventually takes him back. I have seen how they fight. I know his addiction landed him in jail twice last year and even after rehab, he still seems to be slipping backwards again.

He claims to be reformed. But, he still lies to me and tries to manipulate me, promises to pay back what he scammed and then has a melt down when he gets cornered. He owes a lot of people money and threatens them with violence when they ask for repayment. Yet, he calls them friend when he wants something.

I believe this guy is a dangerous person when he feels corner. I think he could harm or kill his girlfriend and /or her kids if he gets back to doing heroin. She won't listen to any reasoning or warning that he is up to something and she chooses to ignore the harm that their fighting is causing the kids.

So here's my greatest concern. I go to the prosecutor's office, through my lawyer, and say to them that this guy is dangerous, he's done a lot of bad things, his girlfriend and her kids are at risk, he has a long history of disorderly behavior, he's a drug addict and has rage issues where he lashes out at people and even hurts himself and something needs to be done before a tragedy occurs. He is likely to kill someone, possibly me, possibly a police officer because he has an utter contempt for them. The prosecutor's office doesn't feel it's worthy of their attention.

There's the problem. The people who should be concerned about what's going on just blow me off because I'm not important enough. They don't care that he's already scammed a lot people because they aren't important people. It doesn't matter that there's a load evidence that this guy is a ticking time bomb waiting to go off because he hasn't actually killed someone important, yet. I may not talk to him for months. But, I know that if he gets in some kind of trouble, he will show up wanting something and making promises and manipulating me. I want my life back and my peace of mind. This guy has trashed my life as well as the lives of others like a tornado trashes a trailer park and I feel helpless to stop him. What can I do?

What does your lawyer recommend?

Have you already tried calling the police on this guy? They may have him in their files and having calls documented with specific transgressions at least will alert them to the situation, even if they can't take direct action. It would be best, of course, if your friend would make the calls. I think the best you could do would be to document and report consistently. At some point, he'll slip up and cross a line, at which point the law will get involved. Moreso if he already has a criminal record of some sort (sounds like he might).

Tell him you will not give him any more money and that you are sorry and wish him well.

The end.

Why is he still a part of your life? Please put your health first, regardless of the circumstances. Xo
